HTML - Difference Between Transitional And Strict Documents?
Which document type is easy and most used either Transitional or Strict?
As I have validated my page using w3c validator it asks to define class for each and every thing like <table class="xx"> .xx {width:40%;} This makes maintainablility easy but if I have to define 20 different widths I cant use class names just for these widths.. Will Transitional doc type support this?? Similar TutorialsI have a Web site whose pages are XHTML 1.0 Strict, and the vast majority of them are valid pages, according to the W3C validation page. Some of the pages are not valid, however, as I use some items such as target="_blank" and ol start="26" and items like that. Would any problems develop with indexing (or with anything else) if I decided to make the invalid pages transitional and keep the rest strict? Is it ok to have a mix of XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.0 Transitional on a single site? Hello everyone! I've scoured around for a bit looking for an answer to a stupid question without success, so I'll pose it here. Currently I am working on a bit of Java code that prints out a document in XHTML 1.0 Strict Transitional. The document displays a formatted list of stock information. What I want is an <option> drop down list with the days of the week, and upon clicking on one of those days, the page automatically refreshes to show the stocks for that day. So very simple, I need for the page to change to a different .html file in the same directory onmouseup, I believe the action is. Here is my .java code, for those interested: Code: import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Portfolio
{
public static ArrayList<String> stocks = new ArrayList<String>();
public static DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("0.##");
public static int tot = 0;
public Portfolio(){}
public static void main(String[]args) throws IOException
{
stocks.add("APPL 5.67 3");
stocks.add("DFG 54.87 78");
stocks.add("DGSF 93.62 5");
printPortfolio(stocks);
}
public static void printPortfolio(ArrayList<String> strar) throws IOException
{
String stockName = new String();
double stockVal = 0.0;
int numShares = 0;
StringTokenizer st;
stocks = strar;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("Portfolio.html");
out.println("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN");
out.println("http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">");
out.println("<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>User's JSMS Stock Portfolio</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<img border=\"0\" src=\"ball16.gif\" width=\"29\" height=\"28\" alt=\"Ball\">");
out.println("<pre>");
out.println("STOCK NAME PRICE SHARES OWNED TOTAL");
out.println("---------- ----- ------------ -----</br>");
for(String str : stocks)
{
st = new StringTokenizer(str);
stockName = st.nextToken();
stockVal = Double.parseDouble(st.nextToken());
numShares = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
if(numShares > 0)
{
String SN = new String();
int nShares = 0;
double price = 0;
st = new StringTokenizer(str);
SN = st.nextToken();
int numS = 25 - SN.length();
out.print(SN);
//inserts # of spaces after data based upon data string length
while(numS > 0)
{
out.print(" ");
numS--;
}
price = Double.parseDouble(st.nextToken());
out.print("$" + price);
double tumS = 18.0 - (Double.toString(price).length());
//inserts # of spaces after data based upon data string length
while(tumS > 0)
{
out.print(" ");
tumS--;
}
nShares = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
out.print(nShares);
numS = 19 - (Integer.toString(nShares).length());
//inserts # of spaces after data based upon data string length
while(numS > 0)
{
out.print(" ");
numS--;
}
out.println("$" + fmt.format(nShares*price) + "</br>");
tot += Double.parseDouble(fmt.format(nShares*price));
}
}
out.println("--------------------------------------------------------------------");
out.println("Stock Portfolio Net Worth : " + "$" + fmt.format(tot) + "</br>");
out.println("</pre>");
out.println("<p>");
out.println("Please Choose a Day:");
out.println("<br /><br />");
out.println("<select name=\"day\">");
out.println("<option selected=\"selected\">Monday</option>");
out.println("<option>Tuesday</option>");
out.println("<option>Wednesday</option>");
out.println("</select>");
out.println("</p>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
out.close();
}
}
At the bottom you can see a simple option list. This is the one that I want to be the day-chooser. In many of the places I've looked it talks about passing the value of the choice to a server. This is not my intention. I am thinking, possibly stupidly, that I can store the value of the choice in a variable and then in javascript have the page refreshed to the corresponding .html file in the directory. If this is the case, example code would be very much appreciated haha. Thank you! UBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Here's an example page featuring wii games consoles if you want to go directly to the source. http://www.ecbiz.co.uk/wii-console.htm All comments welcome! A hello, i have tried to validate the line below, which is part of a form. i added selected="selected" rather than just selected, and one error was removed, but - i still get the same error message. the s in front of the sml value is in red indicating it is where the problem is located. <option value=sml_:16.00 selected="selected">S</option> the message ---- Line 442, Column 35: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified ----- i don't know how to specify SHORTTAG YES in this line of code I am trying to move forward with xhtml, and am declaring the doc type as 1.0 transitional. hope someone will help me with this. weblost - Hi, I'm having a probably unusual problem with my website. It contains html pages, but also documents & PDFs for downloading. People are making links directly to these documents, but as these documents are in a separate directory, they cannot find the original page which lists all these documents. Is there any way that when someone follows a link to a document in a specific directory, that I can redirect them to a html page instead Many thanks, Rudy what i would like to do is have certain documents either in PDF or.dox format available for download from my site, can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for how to do this im not finding anyhting except third part services that upload the document to their server and then you just link to them.. I am trying to find a way for users to download up to date document file on a webpage. Many users click on the link to a document file and open rather than save the file to a specific location. In the future, the document file gets updated and if the user clicks on the link and open the document file, a browser brings up old document file that has been saved before in temporary files directory instead of opening up updated document. I know that I can tell users to save the document to a specific location on their machine, but I want to know if there is a way to avoid this issue using a script if there is any. I want to embed (not hyperlink) a sub-document into a master. The specifications for HTML 4.01 at paragraph 13.5 provide the following simple example: <OBJECT data="embed_me.html"> Warning: embed_me.html could not be embedded. </OBJECT> (the Warning message displays in case the agent fails to load the embedded document) However I have not been able to make this feature work. If you open the master file with Internet Explorer 7, you obtain the Warning message, hence IE7 is not capable to load the embedded document. At the same time the bar saying that pop-ups have been blocked shows, but even allowing the pop-up nothing changes. I tried to add information, such as: <OBJECT data="embed_me.html" type="text/html"> ... with no result. Why is the tag OBJECT not working as expected? What have I done wrong? Thanks a lot. Hi All, I am building a intranet site which is totally internal, the records I'm saving have physical paths to documents I want to link to, which can be anywhere on our network. These paths have to be physical. But I'm having a problem trying to get the link to work, an example link is below. <a target="_blank" href="m:\docs\conference.doc">m:\docs\conference.doc</a> Maybe it's not possible at all with HTML on it own I may need to get scripting involved. Any help appreciated Hi, I'm a noob at HTML, and I've learned a lot, but I can't seem to get this right. I want to divide all my HTML documents into 3 sections, without frames. I want the middle to be 800px, and on its left and right 200px(separately). However, I can't seem to get it right, I want to divide it so that the code in each division doesn't affect what's in the middle9vaguely speaking of course). Any help is appreciated. I hope this is posted in the right section. If not, I would appreciate some advice as to which forum section to post in. I'm after code / software that can automatically detect the number of words in a range of different document formats. It's for a proofreading website so has to be reliable. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Louis. Hello all, I'm wanting to put a print button on a web page that when clicked will print multiple documents/pages. I have tried doing this but have failed several times, does anyone know what the code is that i should be using? Thanks Mini Hi All This is my first post so i hope I provide all the info you need, to be able to help. I am working inside Macromedia UltraDev as this is waht I was taught with over a decade ago.

Hi there, I m using dom with css in my web page. Using the document type <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> My dom effect is not visible in mozilla 2.0. In stead if I am using the document type <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Is this vaild using w3c standards?

Is this vaild using w3c standards? Any help in this issue would be appreciable. Thanks in advance Hi, Web newbie here. I am trying to add a "verse of the day" module to one of my websites. It is loaded into an iframe, but I am getting markup validation erros because I am using the strict doc type. Any ideas? http://bigdogcattle.com/test/ Thanks Jamie http://bigdogcattle.com I have a site (no standards, written with MS Frontpage) that I am converting to 4.01 strict with Dreamweaver. There is one big problem ... virtually all of the text in 4.01 strict is spread out vertically, especially when they are in separate paragraphs: Code: <p class="nomargin" align="center>New to stewardship?</p>
<p class="nomargin" align="center>Start here!</p>
where the "nomargin" class is: Code: .nomargin
{
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
These two sentences are close together vertically in either the MS quirky, or 4.01 transitional standard, but there is significant vertical margin (they are spread out vertically) under 4.01 strict. I need to use 4.01 strict, but I also need these paragraphs to have no margin so they are close together vertically. Why does 4.10 strict do this and how do I eliminate the margins? Thanks |
